In the 1841 census as Ann Absalom aged 23, born in Northumberland, employed as a FS (female servant?), and living with John Rennison (aged 48 and a tobacco manufacturer) and his family at Dockwray Square, Tynemouth, Northumberland.
I cannot find an entry for her in the 1851 census - she was not living with her parents.
In the 1861 census as Ann Absalom aged 43, born in Blyth, Northumberland, unmarried, employed as a greengrocer, and living with her parents (Robert and Margaret), and niece (Mary Wilson) at Market Place, Earsdon. Her sister Elizabeth Wilson and family were living next door.
In the 1871 census as Ann Absolam (sic) aged 53, born in Blyth, single, employed as a greengrocer's daughter, and living with her parents (Robert and Margaret Absolam) at 11 Market Place, South Blyth. Her sister Elizabeth Wilson and family were living next door at number 12.
Here father died in 1872 and her mother in 1876, and she apparently moved from Blyth to Earsdon.
In the 1881 census as Ann Absalom aged 64, born in Blyth, employed as a greengrocer, and living at 9 Market St., Earsdon, Northumberland. Her widowed sister (Elizabeth Wilson) and family were living at the same address, but apparently a separate household.
She appears to have moved back to Blyth after 1881.

There are several entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Ann Absalom born on 1 May 1817, parents Robert and Margaret Absalom, and who died in Blyth in 1909. Many of these give the obviously incorrect marriage to Edward Roney and several children.
Earsdon is about 4 miles north of the River Tyne and Blyth is 8 miles further north.
Ann Absalom was the first cousin once removed of Susannah Emily Absalom, the wife of George Fullick, my third cousin twice removed.
